Typedoc: [Question] How to change code highlighting syntax theme?

[rockmandash]

Hello, thank you for this amazing and wonderful tool!!

Please see the image below.

I have create a method and export it, I use jest test to tell my user how to use it.
I know that typedoc use highlight.js to highlight the syntax, and I know that highlight.js support several code syntax highlighting theme like monokai or dracula, etc...

How can I change my generated doc to use different syntax highlighting theme?

Thank you very much!!

There isn't any functionality for this in the default theme yet, it seems like a reasonable request. PR welcome :)

I'm thinking about what's the best way to support this and I think allowing arbitrary CSS to be added is the easiest approach. The highlight js theme isn't very big so the cost of overriding the styles would be small.

The problem I'm struggling with is "how configurable should the theme be?". The theme is easy to fork (if you know how to point typedoc to it) so I don't want to add too many flags for theming.

Maybe no theme at all, let typedoc generate a JSON that represent the whole website.

So the people who wants totally different theme can do whatever they want in the front-end.

You should already be able to do this by outputting JSON, is there something missing that prevents this workflow?

@Gerrit0 OMG, that's a hidden feature for me! Thank you!

This is possible now with --highlightTheme, run typedoc --help to get a list of available Shiki themes.
